What can Democrats do in Congress under President Trump?

They knocked out the nuclear. We are waiting for them. Okay, we know the Democrats won big in the U.S. midterms, but what does it actually mean for President Donald Trump? Well, it won't mean too much until January 3rd. That's when the Democratic majority will take control of Congress. And what happens after that could bring significant changes to the way Trump has done business. I would have won the war in Afghanistan in a very short period of time. Let's go through what could change, starting with Iran. One of the biggest issues that triggered the blue wave was the incredibly costly U.S. war in Iran, which affected the whole world. Democrats could end up blocking any further funding for it, limiting how long the war could continue for it. This would probably work in their favor, because Democrats won't want to be seen as complicit. They might tread carefully, though, because they also won't want to be seen as undermining the U.S. military. What about the cost of living? Can Democrats bring it down? They can technically negotiate healthcare funding and challenge and introduce legislation aimed at reducing costs. But passing those bills isn't as simple as it sounds. Trump can veto legislation. Unless Democrats push for things that he wouldn't want to veto, that's a challenge on its own. And even if they do, things won't get cheaper overnight. It's much harder to bring prices down after they've gone up. Changing an economy for the better is a complex, lengthy process. And what about one of the most controversial uses of federal power on American streets? ICE. Democrats can't just order ICE to stop detaining or deporting people. That power falls under President Trump. Why? Because it's an agency under Homeland Security which reports to the executive branch. But what Democrats can do is control federal spending, scrutinize detention facilities, investigate abuses, and negotiate restrictions on the funding of immigration enforcement. All of this means that Trump's policies are not going to magically disappear overnight. Or maybe not even at all. What it does mean is that Trump will face a Congress that can challenge his decisions, scrutinize his presidency, and steer U.S. policy in a different direction.
